of paper containing the autographs OF
all present, list of the gifts received,
photographs of the bride and groom,
a piece of the wedding cake and the
brides dress, one of her gloves, some

What They Drank.

Sat recent ball at the Hotel de
Vile, Paris" says the Tribune, "the
drinks consumed included $4,000
books, at 20 confines each; $500
bottles of champagne, and 5000
punches, making an average of about
six books, one-third of g. bottle of
champagne and one-third of a punch
per head. The sandwiches eaten only
numbered 4, 500, or little over half q
sandwich per head" Hence we may
learn that the proverbial vivacity of
the French nation is not maintained
exclusively on solid food.

Warning Words from William Morris
Henry George Traitor.

In the latest London Common
aoea William Morris says:
ToMe WfN-to-Do People of Amer
ita:: If you are sure that hence
forward the workingmen of your
countrywill live placid and happy
lives, then you need think no more
of the murder you have commit
ted, for a happy people cannot
take vengeance, however griev-
ously they have been wronged;
but if it be so with you, as with
other nations of civilization, that
your workers toll without reward
and without hope, oppressed with
sordid anxiety for mere livelihood,
deprived Of the due pleasures of
humanity; if there is yet suffering
and wrong among you, then take
heed; increase your army of spies
and intormers; hire more reckless
swashbucklers to do your will;
guard every approach to your
palace of pleasure without scruple
and without mercy, and yet you
will but put off for while the GER
tain vengeance of ruin that will
overtake you, and your misery
and suffering, which to you in
your forgetfulness of your crimes
will then seem an injustice, will
have to be the necessary step on
which the advance of humanity
will have to mount to happier
days beyond. You yourselves
will have made it necessary by
making people unhappy and pun
ishing them for their unhappiness.
You have sown the wind, you
must reap the whirlwind. Bombs
have been discovered in Lingg' S
cell and a revulsion of feeling has
been caused against the con-
demned men. Indeed! Who put
the bombs there3 Is this not
proof rather of the disgrace OF
American capitalists3 Soes it not
make it certain that there was no
cuse ag inst the men when au-
thority is forced to resort to such
base and clumsy shifts as this to
justify murder1 Henry George
approves of this murder. Do not
let an, body waste many words to
justify this wretch's conduct. One

Fanny Davenport was always

would catch her Dolly in rapt-
urous embrace and swing him
three times around her. his feet
never touching the floor.
Great surprise is often expressed
that actresses are able to preserve
their health and beauty in view of
the terrible strain oftheir exacting
duties upon physical and mental
force.
/ Jennie Kimball, the mother of
charming Little Corinne" who
has delighted lovers of comic
opera for many years, says, under
date of May 28. 1887: 81 was ex-
hausted with my severe work and
the doctors told me to give up

The really great actresses in
emotional parts are those who ut
terly abandon their own personal
ity in the assumption of the char
acter portrayed. The strain they
undergo is one that few, outside of
the profession. can understand.
'Maude Granger was obliged to
abandon the stage temporarily by
reason of it. She says: "The suf-
ferings | then endured, and the
terrible condition l was in, can
only be appreciated by those
women who have undergone the
same experience. 1t was while
still suffering that | learned of
Warmers safe cure and began its
use. have taken it faithfully,
and am happy to state that | am
now completely restored to health
and my usual vigor."
Many break down under the
strain and, like Sara Jewett, totally
give out. Physicians prescribe
opiates which, perhaps. give tenn
porary relief only to make the
final collapse more certain and
complete. Others are more for
tunate and find in that great REM
edy an influence which Controls
life and health" and, they are
thus enabled to succeed in their
h;rbact q ar,h;f;ooc
